MANILA, Philippines—Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman both started the fight aggressively in the first minute of the fight for the WBA Super World welterweight title Sunday (Manila time) at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Although the two were quick to engage, Pacquiao was the first to land a solid shot with a left straight in the first minute.
